Great view
The view was great however the driveway and parking situation wasn’t ideal at all. The steepest driveway ever and it’s made for tiny cars. The property was in a great location and walking to the shops, cafes and supermarkets was easy, although it’s very hilly. The property needs a good clean and some TLC. Lots of little things broken or missing or overused. We were two families with babies staying together and the property was large enough for us all to have our own space and it worked well. I think if some time and money was spent on the property it would easily score 5 stars.

Inflexible
House was booked for Red Hot Summer Tour in Kiama which was rescheduled 2 days prior due to weather (NSW Floods). Contacted Managing Agent and asked if we could transfer booking to rescheduled tour dates including extra day rental plus offered additional payment to help facilitate the date change. The request was denied. Very disappointed with outcome and would not recommend staying here or using properties managed by Holiday Rental Specialists.

Great family orientated property
Excellent location and outlook, we all enjoyed our week. While it didn’t detract from our stay, a few things need some TLC to bring them up to standard (eg, back decking boards loose and broken, bathroom fan very noisy, leak from under the stairs when it rained, AC in one bedroom not working). Everything else great, would recommend.

Overpriced
This place was disappointing. Far too expensive for what you are getting. It would have been ok if it was 1/4 of its price - we were expecting luxury for the price but it’s tired, dirty (lots of mould and scum in the bathrooms, dirt/dust on skirtings etc). Needs maintenance - rotten deck boards, running toilet, dirty windows, broken fly screens. Lovely location but no fenced area for pets, no direct access to beach and key press (on arrival) wasn’t the one at the front door (it’s around the side of the house). Beds very hard and uncomfortable. Loads of potential but overpriced and disappointing. Won’t book again.

Needs cleaning!!
The cleanliness of the property when we arrived was atrocious!! Dog hair and sand all over the floors and furniture...hair in shower drain!! Yuck! Floor to ceiling glass doors and windows gave a beautiful frame to the beautiful view of Bombo Beach unfortunately the windows was so dirty from the inside it distracted from the view. Bedsheets in some beds dirty with stains and smell...it took us the first 2 1/2 hours of our stay cleaning the property and washing the bedsheets...we messaged estate manager and they were able to get a cleaner in the day before we left...we were there for 4 days/3 nights.

The house has such a stunning view overlooking the water. The driveway was very steep which would be the only reason it gets 4 stars rather than 5.

Santa Barbara on Bombo
Overall we had a great stay away. The view was wonderful, location perfect, and house nice. A couple of things to note: 1) There is a large block of flats/house being constructed directly next door. Thankfully there was not a huge amount of work going on over the weekend, but there was construction noise from around 7am on the Saturday morning. 2) A few appliances did not work (including the dishwasher) 3) A few pieces of outdoor furniture were broken. Hopefully these will be replaced soon. 4) As we arrived back to the complex after dinner on Saturday night we discovered that there was absolutely no lighting leading from the road down the complex driveway. Given its incredibly steep gradient, this poses a major safety risk especially to people who are elderly or have an eye condition as one of our party did. We had to try to light the way with our mobile phone torches. If you are staying at this property it is probably worth taking a torch if you go out at night.

NOT a 5 star rated property - dirty
Expensive for what it is Thought it was 5 star rated but was really dirty and had to call realestate to get cleaner to come back out. Too many fees for cleaning etc but property was dirty on arrival. Was told due to school holidays and cleaners flat out. I said we paid full price and property should be clean. There was a cleaning fee if the bbq was not left sparkling clean, but the bbq was that rusty and dirty we couldn’t even use it. Overall NOT what we expected and would never stay there again
